To people who have already watched the game, that picture is worth a thousand words, but to someone who hasn't seen it, it doesn't convey particularly much: just a group of hydras, lings and a few drones. An animated gif of the scene would do a little more, by showing that the drones were blocking the hydras, but even that wouldn't show the tension of this going on for an enormous chunk of the game.Your thread, your call.

Anyway, I've watched the game now, and personally, didn't find it all that entertaining: just an example of some shockingly sloppy play. That doesn't mean that others won't like it, or that it's not a worthwhile post in this thread: it's certainly unusual (especially given who the Zerg was), and I'm sure that there are lots of people who like games like this one. (There's even "facepalm" category in the OP just for games of this sort.) Thanks for the post! For my part, I prefer the previous game in that series (Soulkey vs Sea on Sniper Ridge): a nice example of an unusual strat that is tried only very rarely and succeeds even more rarely, shown off to perfection. + Show Spoiler [VOD] + + Show Spoiler [What makes this unusual?] + A nice example of an unusual strat + Show Spoiler + burrowed ling ambush + Show Spoiler [Worth watching?] + | ||

I missed this post when you first made it, but I've added that VOD to the OP now.Here is a english commentary of ChRh vs Bisu on monty hall by CholeraAbout adding more VODs to the OP... I don't know. I'd figured that as it is, not too many people have watched the ones that are there already (judging by the vote counts in the polls), so why bother adding more. On the other hand, voting has slowed to a trickle compared to the early days of the thread. I've thought about asking Manifesto to spotlight it again, but it seems a bit crass to ask for that. Hmm, it's almost the thread's anniversary, though. Maybe for that... | ||

+ Show Spoiler [VOD] + I don't even know what to say about this one. I mean, in a way it's sort of the logical culmination of the playstyle that Flash has been using since the season began, but in another way, you've really got to see it to believe it. To recommend this game from a different angle, if this bears any weight with you, I was getting tired of the games in this thread. As unusual as they may have been, gather them all together in one place and even these games started looking the same, most of them. Proxies, uncommon units, uncommon abilities, I'd seen it all. I'd never seen a game like this one. This game could have been theorycrafted by a six-year-old. It took Flash to play it. Go watch it already! | ||

This game is indeed unusal due to the fact that flash 8 rax bunker rush 1 gate core to hell and sucessed on winning without a factory and only 1 rax of rines :o | ||

What you just said is very true it bugged me because i accualy thought it was a funny game and rec'd the game but alot people hate it due to extreme cheese and also makes me wonder how flash manged to just use 1 rax rines and still destory best as he shoulda made another rax so more rines can come and reinforce :\ but still amazing game play from flash+ Show Spoiler + Best got unlucky overall but still funny game | ||
